Get ready for more mutant mania, this time from the FOX Television Network.¿¿

IGN FilmForce has learned that a television special focusing on the Kelly political campaign will be shot next week in L.A.¿¿ FOX hasn't released an air date yet but it's pretty likely to run sometime during the week leading up to the film's release on July 14th.¿ The special will repeat on the FX cable channel, possibly during the film's run in theaters.

According to casting information obtained by FilmForce, the special will feature interviews with fellow members of the Senate, mostly focusing on the Kelly campaign and the "mutant menace" called the X-Men.¿ Material from the film will be woven into this to generate interest in the premiere.¿ The producers are hoping to enlist an actual reporter to conduct the interviews so that it will keep that "real" feeling of the very successful "mutant watch" ads.¿

-- The KJB still votes for Pat Paulsen.¿ Even though he's dead, he's still more interesting than all of the other political candidates.
